  • United States of America–Namibia Relations William a Lindeke*
    From confrontation to pragmatic cooperation: United States of America–Namibia relations William A Lindeke* Introduction The United States of America (USA) and the territory and people of present-day Namibia have been in contact for centuries, but not always in a balanced or cooperative fashion. Early contact involved American1 businesses exploiting the natural resources off the Namibian coast, while the 20th Century was dominated by the global interplay of colonial and mandatory business activities and Cold War politics on the one hand, and resistance diplomacy on the other. America was seen by Namibian leaders as the reviled imperialist superpower somehow pulling strings from behind the scenes. Only after Namibia’s independence from South Africa in 1990 did the relationship change to a more balanced one emphasising development, democracy, and sovereign equality. This chapter focuses primarily on the US’s contributions to the relationship. Early history of relations The US has interacted with the territory and population of Namibia for centuries – indeed, since the time of the American Revolution.2 Even before the beginning of the German colonial occupation of German South West Africa, American whaling ships were sailing the waters off Walvis Bay and trading with people at the coast. Later, major US companies were active investors in the fishing (Del Monte and Starkist in pilchards at Walvis Bay) and mining industries (e.g. AMAX and Newmont Mining at Tsumeb Copper, the largest copper mine in Africa at the time). The US was a minor trading and investment partner during German colonial times,3 accounting for perhaps 7% of exports.

Over the past three years, tensions have escalated seriously and since October 2017 violent conflict has erupted between armed separatist groups and the security forces, with both sides being accused of committing human rights abuses. The tensions originate in a complex and contested decolonisation process in the late-1950s and early-1960s, in which Britain, as one of the colonial powers, was heavily involved. Federal arrangements were scrapped in 1972 by a Francophone- dominated central government. Many English-speaking Cameroonians have long complained that they are politically, economically and linguistically marginalised.

  • Combating Political Violence Movements with Third-Force Options Doron Zimmermann ∗
    Between Minimum Force and Maximum Violence: Combating Political Violence Movements with Third-Force Options Doron Zimmermann ∗ Introduction: Balancing the Tools of Counter-Terrorism In most liberal democratic states it is the responsibility of the police forces to cope with “internal” threats, including terrorism, since in such states terrorism is invariably defined as a criminal act rather than a manifestation of insurgent political violence. In many such instances, the resultant quantitative and qualitative overtaxing of law en- forcement capabilities to keep the peace has led to calls by sections of the public, as well as by the legislative and executive branches of government, to expand both the le- gal and operational means available to combat terrorism, and to boost civilian agen- cies’ capacity to deal with terrorism in proportion to the perceived threat. The deterio- rating situation in Ulster in Northern Ireland between 1968 and 1972 and beyond is an illustrative case in point.1 Although there have been cases of successfully transmogrifying police forces into military-like formations, the best-known and arguably most frequent example of aug- mented state responses to the threat posed by insurgent political violence movements is the use of the military in the fight against terrorism and in the maintenance of internal security. While it is imperative that the threat of a collapse of national cohesion due to the overextension of internal civil security forces be averted, the deployment of all branches of the armed forces against a terrorist threat is not without its own pitfalls. Paul Wilkinson has enunciated some of the problems posed by the use of counter-ter- rorism military task forces, not the least of which is that [a] fully militarized response implies the complete suspension of the civilian legal system and its replacement by martial law, summary punishments, the imposition of curfews, military censorship and extensive infringements of normal civil liberties in the name of the exigencies of war.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the Directorate General of the Internal Security Forces. www.isf.gov.lb Foreword by the Minister of Interior and Municipalities From the moment I assumed my responsibilities as Minister of Interior and Municipalities, and throughout my years of military service within the Internal Security Forces (ISF), my foremost concerns were, and continue to be, the enforcement of the law, the maintenance of public order, the reinforcement of security, the preservation of rights and the protection of freedoms. Creating a safe and stable society with decreasing crime rates is dependent on building certain material and ethical pillars. This will reassure the people that they live in an environment where their citizenship is respected, their rights are safeguarded and their dignity is preserved. In a groundbreaking step forward, the Directorate General of the Internal Security Forces is introducing an exhaustive Code of Conduct for its members, laying out their rights and obligations and the way they should interact with the public, authorities, and institutions. This is a pioneering accomplishment and a worthy model for Lebanon and the world as the Code of Conduct establishes institutional, ethical and professional ground rules observing national legislation and international conventions and standards.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND STRUCTURE OF POLICE AND INTERNAL SECURITY FORCES IN UGANDA Nagujja Zam Zam I. BACKGROUND Uganda, like many African countries in the pre-colonial era, was a multiplicity of small kingdoms, chiefdoms and tribal societies. The primary interest of these peoples was subsistence. Criminal justice was maintained by kinship and the ultimate right to seek vengeance through the blood feud. There was a large degree of stability without a central authority, and in the 1870s a rudimentary criminal justice system existed. Punishment of breaches of peace was based on individual action rather than an established authority, except in the kingdoms of Buganda and Bunyoro-Kitara which had a more institutionalised set up. In the Buganda, each kingdom had its "army" for protection and expansion of the kingdom through tribal wars.

  • The Internal Security Forces (I.S.F) in Lebanon Their Creation – History- Development
    The Internal Security Forces (I.S.F) in Lebanon Their creation – History- Development First : The creation of the I.S.F. Lebanon did not know a police organization, in the modern and legal meaning, before the creation of a lebanese gendarmerie by virtue of protocol 1861. Before this year, the Lebanese Emirs, with the help of their armed men, were in charge of policing, law enforcement and tax-collect. We will present hereunder a summary concerning the creation of the I.S.F. 1- The mandate of Emir Fakhreddine II (He came to power in 1589): The Emir Fakhreddine II is considered to be the founder of the modern Lebanese state. After a perturbated childhood, he came to power in 1589 and started instantly working for the unification of the country, by destroying some independent ephemeral Lebanese families, who were dissenters. In order to control policing and for the execution of ordinary police missions, the Emir has created a group of armed men, named “Zelems” i.e. direct servants. There were also another little groups of “Zelems” for feudal lords. If internal disorders became alarming and threatening the total security of the country, the Emir did not hesitate to ask help from his professional elements “The Sikmans”, who were foreign mercenaries. Nevertheless, he avoided the participation of “Bedouins”, used to theft and murders, instead of military actions. 2- The mandate of Emir Bechir II (He came to power in 1788) There were two kinds of military elements for policing: the first are “Cavaliers” of Emir Bechir the great and “Tax Collector” or “Hawalie” whose functions were as gendarmes, threatening evildoers.
